Welfare spending in the UK is among the lowest in the OECD. Ignore the scapegoating from billionaire-owned media and politicians and demand better from our government and MPs

Total welfare spending in Britain in 2025-26 is estimated to be 10.8 per cent of GDP.
That's just 0.8 per cent of GDP higher than in 2007-08, and total welfare spending has actually fallen fallen by 1.2 per cent of GDP since 2012-13⤵️
